#honestly I do

[eri-pl]

I don't usually break the fourth wall, but I do often come close to the wall, purr, meow and stroke it lovingly with my head.

I’m really glad people don’t actually know me on this hell site

I understand that tall men are our POV characters, but surely being like a foot taller than everyone around them would have some occasional consequences

Here’s my take on the whole audio books vs. reading:

Oral tradition of storytelling predates written ones by millennias, and honestly, which one you like is just a personal preference.

The actual difference is

when listening, you have no idea how to write characters’ names

when reading, you have no idea how to pronounce characters’ names

hope this helps!

You know what bothers me so much about AI bots?

Before the 2K16 Tumblr Porn Ban, RP accounts ran rampant on this site and you know what people would do? Run up into their inbox and ask them whatever questions they wanted to ask, engage with them, and have fun doing it.

I guess as someone who loved RPing and did so for many years through many characters on this Hellsite, it irks me seeing people run to AI bots to get this sad, artificial facsimile of what we used to have for free, where really talented and hardworking writers would take the time to embody a character and were willing to interact with randos in the inbox asking all sorts of inane questions--and we did it because it was fun, it was enjoyable, and it helped us stretch our creative muscles too.

Now it’s these AI bots, and people are chatting with them and trying to like...I dunno, have fun or whatever, but you can’t convince me that it’s not training them for some other nefarious purpose. Like I fully believe that it’s going to come back and bite everyone in the ass and screw society over a thousandfold.

I just really wish RP culture would return to Tumblr the way it used to be. I really miss it.

Not me embarassing myself and my best friend, trying to surpise her for lunch, sitting outside her work place, waiting for her with lunch I bought, just for her to come out and say "Oh my other friend is here too, he planned on coming to see me" ... Her words "This is so awkward" just absolutely broke me, I got in my car and just left.

If anyone is looking for me, I'll be in a ditch somewhere. I'm done

We are well beyond canary in the coalmine warning levels with the way trans people and particularly trans women are treated on this site.

Maybe you've heard the metaphor of allowing wolves and sheep to share the same space, welcoming everyone. You end up with just wolves because allowing them in that space makes it unsafe for any sheep. Or the story about how a nazi goes into a dive bar and is refused service. The bartender then explains to someone else at the bar that if you serve them once they tell their friends and before you know it you're the nazi bar they all go to and normal customers don't feel safe.

Terfs and other bigots are seeing these targeted harassment campaigns succeed against trans women and rejoicing. They see Tumblr ban them and officially stand by those decisions as endorsement for their harassment. It's a sign to bigots across the internet that Tumblr is a good place for them.

And what's more is that a lot of us probably don't realize just how much trans women contribute to Tumblr. The women banned recently were sources of site-wide memes and posts I wasn't even aware originated from them.any years old memes and references can be traced back to trans women on this site.

How many of these folks have to be removed before this is no longer a site you want to be a part of it? Sure you cultivate your own experience, but you can't follow or interact with people who aren't here. And if I wanted to interact with the nazis and terfs I'd go to reddit.

I encourage everyone to reblog this. Trans women shouldn't have to be the only ones speaking out against the bigotry they're experiencing. They shouldn't be the only ones risking their blogs being nuked by staff. We have to stand with them.

Do you ever think about how almost all of N’s Pokémon throughout the first games were one offs he released after he battled you, how he cared about them all deeply enough that he thought it would be selfish to have them battle more than necessary. And do you ever think about how this is the case with all his Pokémon EXCEPT his Klinklang in the final battle at the league, where the second to last battle he had a Klink and this Klinklang is very likely that same Pokémon? Do you think this was a visual representation of his mindset wavering from a fixed point? How that Klink refused to leave him right away and he couldn’t bring himself to force them to leave because his mind is in so many different directions? He can keep them around just a little longer until he becomes champion, it won’t be long, he can bend things some so long as he doesn’t fully stray from his path…right?

Or is that just me am I the only one willing to be insane about Klinklang of all Pokémon
